- Pests: Pests may include aphids and moths. If pests appear, use an appropriate insecticide or remove them by hand.
- Control Methods: Maintain proper planting spacing to ensure good air circulation, and apply control measures immediately upon detecting early symptoms. If pest infestations are severe, consider using a professional pest control service or agricultural chemicals.
